Not sure about African countries but my UK passport has a visa which has temporary resident written on the work permit(skills quota permit) and I got mine. I didn't do a trade test here, SAQA equated my qualifications to N4 which in SA terms means you have done a your trade test (you do your trade test after N3 I think). It was a MISSSSSSSION of note. I still had to do SANS P1 and P2 (hard) and unit standards for testing and issuing a COC.
